Birkbeck was founded on 11 November 1823, when around 2,000 people met at the Crown and Anchor Tavern on the Strand to hear Dr George Birkbeck argue for educating working people. It was formally created as the London Mechanics' Institution that December. It joined the University of London in 1920 on the understanding that evening study would continue, and daytime teaching was phased out in 1925. All teaching still takes place after 6pm, a rarity among campus universities in the UK, which suits students who work during the day.
